Name File from part of Folder

Postby zedski » Sun Aug 16, 2015 2:49 am

Can I rename a file based on part of the folder name it lives in?

So if I have
2014-12-25 Xmas\001.jpg

Can I select the part of the folder name after the space, in this case Xmas, and use it in the naming of the file, 'Xmas 001.jpg'

The next version of BRU (3.0) will have javascript renaming capabilities and this will be possible to do. For now you could do it in two passes, first prefix the folder name to the file name , then truncating the file name.
